I'm a fourteen year old girl from California. I'm a rabid liberal/feminist an a writer. I've been through cutting, and I'll try not to give bad advice. Ask me whatever you like . . . I'm not so good on romance questions, with a lack of any significant experience, but I'm good on everything else.

I had the scariest day of my life the other day. I am an advicenator as well and the other day, i was walking to the park, and a guy sexually assulted me. The worst thing he did was finger me but it was still scary. I don't know what to do. I can't tell anyone because i already have enought problems as it is. I am only fourteen and haven't even had my first kiss yet. People are always spreading rumers that i am not a virgin and i was okay with it until now. Please Help me

You really need to tell someone. Like the police. They might be able to catch this guy, and then no one else will ever have to deal with what you're going through right now.

If you really can't call the police (which you REALLY should do) you could research some hotlines in your area that talk to teenagers with problems.


I'm not sure whether this beinglongs in activsm or not but I think that when the airplanes hit the twin towers on 9/11, the terroists actually thought what they were doing what the right thing to do. I know that they shouldn't have done it in such a destructive manner but isn't that what we're doing now? We're completely destroying Iraq and are we immature enough to say when we all realize that this was an idiotic thing to do, "Well, they started it!" Does anybody else agree with me?

I do!


I'm an athiest, but i don't try to force people to believe what I believe. I don't challenge other people's beliefs. I've had this one guy bother me for 5 years about being an athiest. (I go to a PK-12 school distict). He's always asking me why I'm not religious, why I don't believe in God, etc, ect, and so on. i've done everything I can think of, including inflicting bodily harm on him (well - I dropped a book on his head. But I don't even think that hurt him) but he won't stop. how do I stop him? (link)
I'm also an atheist, and I've had the same problem.

Usually it blows over in a while, but that doesn't seem to be with this guy.

Is it possible to avoid him entirely? Don't talk to him in class, keep away from him at lunch.

If he's been bugging you for five years, he's not likely to stop soon. If there's someone you can report him to, report him. Otherwise, ignore him entirely.


I have a friend who's about to be initiated into Wicca. I know what Wicca's about, and that's mainly why I've been hoping he wouldn't. He's getting initiated on Saturday, and I'm really worried. Is there anything I can do to talk him out of it in five days?!? (link)
Don't try to talk him out of it. Wicca is a wonderful religion. Learn to accept it -- you might learn something.

I like it. It's short and to the point. It also has a nice rhythym.


My cousin lives far away and I get to see her like maybe two months a year well the last time I saw her she said that she has done to many things for God to love her and so she has became an atheist. I don't know what to do except pray but I feel like I need to do more for her. Every time I ask a question on this website no one gives me good answers that I can relate to so please don't let me down! (link)
I don't think you have the right to try to make your cousing believe in God. It's her belief, and you can't force her to think in a certain way. If she really does believe in God, she'll go back to the Church, and, as I understand it, God will forgive her. If she really is an atheist, then you'll just have to get used to it.


I have been an athiest for about four years, and I have begun to feel lacking in that area. I looked up many differnt religions, and took trusted belief tests to see what would best fit with what I really want and believe. The tests all pointed to Pagan. I have looked up on it, and it just seems to fit. I feel so happy, even just going through a normal day is better now that I have found it. However, I do not think my parents (catholic and athiest) will accept it. Anyone who has had a similar "coming out" (be it of religion or sexual orientation) care to help me form a plan, so they might see my view?

Never had an experience like that before, but having read a lot of the other answers, I am going to tell you to ignore the people who are telling you that your attraction to paganism is "just a phase." It's your life, you have the choice. If paganism doesn't work for you, you can change and maybe learn something from the whole thing.If it does work, then you'll be happy and glad you didn't dismiss it as "just a phase."

On the "coming out" thing . . .
Your atheist parent probably won't care, and if your catholic parent married an atheist there shouldn't be a problem there either. Maybe don't sit them down and tell them, but just don't try to hide your religion either?


OK me and my friends were having a discussion and one of my friends stated that the faith of catholic is just another branch of christianity, but catholics have very very different beliefs then christians do. Can someone help me make up my mind? (link)
The first Christians made up the Catholic church, and everyone else split off later. So, although Catholics are very different from other Christians, Catholics are Christians themselves.
